Hi, In the first, you are assigning a Number to myVar first, and then saying 'just kidding' you are a string. In the second, you are assigning a number (which was converted from a string) to myVar.
I would declare the type of the variable, eg var myCounter:Number = 0; Grtz Hans ____________ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Toon Van de Putte Sent: Wednesday, January 25, 2006 2:23 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] small code question I was wondering if the following two lines of code are just different ways of doing the same thing: var myVar = new Number(); myVar ="0"; var myVar= Number("0"); -- Toon Van de Putte Pannenhuisstraat 63 2500 Lier Belgium mobile: +32 (0)497 52 74 51 [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
